All organelles that either directly or indirectly share/exchange membrane, which includes ER, Golgi, Lysosomes, Vacuoles
What is the Endomembranous system
Organelles, cytoplasm, cell membrane, and DNA
What are the four elements that all cells have in common?
Eukaryotic and prokaryotic

Makes proteins by putting together chains of amino acids
What is the ribosome?
A living thing
What is an organism
He examined pond water with a microscope and was shocked to find it teeming with what he called animalcules
Who is Anton Von Leeuwenhoek?

What is an unicellular organism
The region enclosed by the cell membrane where all the fluid and organelles are stored
A network of protein filaments that gives shape and structure to a cell.
What is a cytoskeleton?
The membrane-bound organelle that packages and distributes materials such as proteins
What is the Golgi complex?
This is one of the smallest structures inside of all cells responsible for multiple functions
What is a ribosome?
An organism made up of many cells
A genetic material that provides instructions for the cell and is inherited from the parents
What is DNA?
Cellular respiration occurs in it
What occurs in the mitochondria?
A fluid-filled sack found in most animal, plant and fungi cells
What is the vacuole?
All organisms are made of one or more cells, the cell is the basic unit of all organisms, all cell come from cells
What are the three rules of cell theory
The location of the DNA inside of a eukaryotic cell
A small body in the cytoplasm with a specific purpose, most have a membrane
What is an organelle?
The process of breaking down food to release its energy.
What is cellular respiration?
The organelle the is only in plants, where photosynthesis occurs
What are chloroplasts?
